Thai Tea Blend from TeavanaTeavana's Thai blend has a huge flavor, a compelling aroma and a wonderful texture. The coconut taste is what I expected, and it's robust. The vanilla and almond add a savory sweetness. The combination of red and black produces a velvety cup and it's a full bodied cup. I give this one a perfect score because it has a wild, exotic flavor. I went through it very, very fast. The second time I bought 8 ounces and served it at a party and non-tea drinkers said wow. I especially enjoy "anytime" tea blends and this one is nice at breakfast, lunch, afternoon, dinner, and after-dinner. It's not too sweet on its own to be a dessert tea. But if you add sweetener it can be one. I drink this blend "neat" every time but it's probably great with milk or cream.

Rooibos Peach Bloom from TeavanaTeavana's red peach has a very peach flavor, extremely peach. I said wow how did you capture so much flavor? When I drink fruit teas I expect a fruit bonanza, and this one delivers. The aroma of the ingredients is, in a word, intense. It even makes your nose tingle. Redbush is good anytime (even before bed) and this blend is rewarding for its high price. A wonderful "after breakfast" blend. Bring someone a cup of this, they will smile.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 18:55:38 -0500/teas/Rooibos%20Peach%20Bloom/1191-rooibos-peach-bloom?note=58268
Haute Chocolate from Teavana"Haute" means "extremely good" in French and they picked a good word. The liquor is abundantly sweet when drunk neat. With milk and sugar, my guests looked at me like I served them a $12 sundae. This blend has a nice body, light but full. The flavor is chocolate first and spices next. I think it's unique to chocolate, spice, and red teas. I went through this very fast. Great value for the price asked. Wonderful as a dessert or after-dinner tea but I found myself making it anytime.
Red Rooibos, ginger, cardamom, chicory, cinnamon sticks, black pepper, cardamom fruit, and cocoa kernels.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 19:02:49 -0500/teas/Haute%20Chocolate/1644-haute-chocolate?note=58269
Irish Breakfast from TeavanaThis is a beautiful Irish breakfast at a remarkable price. The flavor of "the leaf" is robust, without any bitterness. Full bodied, very malty, and full of caffeine power. With a pot of this blend my work is hard and steadfast. A mixture of Assam black tea, Nilgiri black tea, and China Black tea.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 19:11:42 -0500/teas/Irish%20Breakfast/4209-irish-breakfast?note=58270
English Breakfast (High Grown) from TeavanaI don't add milk or sweetener to any teas, and sometimes English breakfast blends have a bitter aftertaste. This one has a remarkable sweet flavor. Very very malty yet mellow. I went through this very fast. The flavor makes this very worthy for the price asked.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 19:17:39 -0500/teas/English%20Breakfast%20(High%20Grown)/1741-english-breakfast-high-grown?note=58272
British Breakfast from The Republic of TeaI thought this was awful. The flavor is very bitter without much of "the leaf". There are many British Breakfast blends far better than this one, at half the price asked. Sun, 28 Nov 2010 19:23:26 -0500/teas/British%20Breakfast/1455-british-breakfast?note=58274
Cinnamon Plum from The Republic of TeaAn intensely flavorful cup but unfortunately this isn't often on store shelves. The plum flavor is robust and it works very well with "the leaf". The cinnamon flavor is nicely subtle. Contains a light and mellow body much like a good Ceylon. My guests love Cinnamon Plum and "the stash" never lasts very long. A black tea suitable for anyone who likes plum, even if they're not much of a tea drinker. Wonderful on a cold day in Fall.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 19:28:43 -0500/teas/Cinnamon%20Plum/844-cinnamon-plum?note=58275
Mango Ceylon from The Republic of TeaThis cup has a robust mango flavor and a beautiful body. Very very drinkable. 50 bags of this will be gone in a few days, in my house. Of course the loose-leaf version is even better. A very light black tea that calls to you at night and at breakfast. I love a tea that transports you to a happy sunny island, and does this ever. I always pay attention when my non-tea-drinking guests like a cup, and they like this one.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 19:35:08 -0500/teas/Mango%20Ceylon/1171-mango-ceylon?note=58277
Almond Biscotti from TeavanaThis is a nutty, cookie-like black tea. The flavor explodes on the tongue. Sweet and savory like a biscotti. Very very rich flavor. A great after-dinner tea but it calls to you throughout the day. Savory, sweet, and rich almond flavor. Sun, 28 Nov 2010 19:50:49 -0500/teas/Almond%20Biscotti/868-almond-biscotti?note=58278
Maghreb Mint from Rishi TeaI've tasted many teas and this is one of my favorites. The medium bodied green tea is refreshing, wild, spicy, and exotic. Definitely a blend that transports you to Morocco. The spices are interesting because they are strong, but this cup is perfectly drinkable. The spices are sensational. Excellent on a summer night.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 20:21:01 -0500/teas/Maghreb%20Mint/392-maghreb-mint?note=58285
Good Hope Vanilla (Red) from The Republic of TeaThe idea of vanilla redbush is superb in the world of tea. This one is very poor for the price asked. I didn't taste the redbush much and the vanilla seemed artificial. After 7 or 8 cups I concluded that it has a horrible aftertaste compared to a good cup of vanilla redbush. There are vastly superior vanilla redbush (in teabags) at half the price.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 20:26:33 -0500/teas/Good%20Hope%20Vanilla%20(Red)/1214-good-hope-vanilla-red?note=58286
Daily Green Tea The People's Green Tea from The Republic of TeaAt $10 for 50 tea bags, I thought this was tepid. There are 500 better green teas (out there) than this one. I drank all 50 bags and said "this is ok but not anything to holler about". I give it a dismal low score because the flavor of "the leaf" did not impress me. Also, it doesn't have the energy of a good green. At $10, you could buy 80 bags of a better (tea bag) green.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 20:30:40 -0500/teas/Daily%20Green%20Tea%20The%20People's%20Green%20Tea/829-daily-green-tea-the-peoples-green-tea?note=58288
Cardamon Cinnamon from The Republic of TeaA very fine cup. Spicy, sweet, and deep. Between medium and full-bodied. A wonderful wintertime herbal. My non-tea-drinking guests really like it. Very good cardamon.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 20:37:14 -0500/teas/Cardamon%20Cinnamon/5048-cardamon-cinnamon?note=58289
Honey Ginseng from The Republic of TeaA wonderful cup! The flavor of "the leaf" is robust and there is beautiful energy from the ginseng. The honey flavor mixes perfectly with "the leaf". I drink this when there is super-hard work to be done, it makes the hours fly by.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 20:40:47 -0500/teas/Honey%20Ginseng/3409-honey-ginseng?note=58290
Plum Oolong from Rishi TeaRishi describes the flavor of this oolong "succulent" and I must agree. The plum flavor is so robust it's juicy. The other ingredients add an exotic tart flavor. The oolong is very mellow. It brings joyousness and energy. "The stash" didn't last long. This cup proved to me, a loose-leaf plum oolong is a welcome friend.
Ingredients: Organic oolong tea, Organic schizandra berries, Organic rosehips, Organic Fair Trade Certified™ hibiscus, natural plum flavor and Organic osthmanthus flowers.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 20:43:44 -0500/teas/Plum%20Oolong/417-plum-oolong?note=58291
Wild Berry Zinger from Celestial SeasoningsThis cup seems bizarre to me. If I'm not mistaken they make Wild Berry Zinger with carob. Carob in a berry flavored herbal? This is probably the worst cup I've tasted. Sun, 28 Nov 2010 20:56:00 -0500/teas/Wild%20Berry%20Zinger/2459-wild-berry-zinger?note=58293
Mandarin Orange Spice from Celestial SeasoningsA very, very exotic cup, and one of the best orange herbals for the price. This cup explodes with fruit. The tart hibiscus mixes perfectly with the orange flavor and the spices are more bold than subtle. Rewarding any hour of the day or night. Served iced, my guests tell me they don't deserve such a pleasure.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 20:59:28 -0500/teas/Mandarin%20Orange%20Spice/940-mandarin-orange-spice?note=58294
Citron Oolong from Rishi TeaIn the world of street drugs there is a term "body buzz". This cup's beautiful combination of oolong, citrus, and jasmine produces this feeling. I feel my organs, blood, flesh, etc. buzzing. This oolong is one of many oolongs that cause a religious experience. The flavor of the jasmine and citrus is bold. The flavor is delicious and elegant. One day I drank three pots of this and I felt very good, how a human is supposed to feel. Rich, calming, and stimulating. Hats off to Rishi!Sun, 28 Nov 2010 21:23:19 -0500/teas/Citron%20Oolong/411-citron-oolong?note=58300
Emerald Princess from TeavanaI expected greatness from this fruited green and it delivers. A light-bodied green with stimulating pineapple, citrus, and rose. Not one of Teavana's most-talked-about but it definitely an exotic treat. Sun, 28 Nov 2010 21:30:24 -0500/teas/Emerald%20Princess/4179-emerald-princess?note=58302
MateVana from TeavanaWild, deep, spicy, and sweet, this cup is a great value for the price asked. I'd call it a full-bodied herbal, with a truly exotic flavor. Nutty, chocolate, and spicy. The stimulant yerba mate brings a euphoric energy. My guests are like chipmunks wearing tuxedos when I serve this at dessert time. This cup says "Humanity has indeed come a long way." Many people switch from coffee to mate and you'll be hollering about the taste.
Roasted Mate leaves, cocoa kernels, rooibos tea, chocolate chips (sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa powder), flavoring, white cocoa butter splits (sugar, cocoa butter, dextrose), almonds, cactus blossoms, sunflower petals and cornflower petals.
This tea contains nuts. Don't buy it if you are allergic.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 21:36:08 -0500/teas/MateVana/815-matevana?note=58303
9 Treasures from TeavanaThis cup is so extraordinary, 50 years ago the only people who drank it were royalty. White tea, green tea, and pu-erh cakes produce a sublime body and texture. The fruit flavor is wild and bold. I just love "transporter" teas and this one takes me to the sunny south of China. When I serve this, my guests have a look on their faces that says "You are refined beyond comprehension!"Sun, 28 Nov 2010 21:47:09 -0500/teas/9%20Treasures/528-9-treasures?note=58304
Key Lime from TeavanaWhen my guests want a cold lime drink, I bring out Teavana's rooibos lime instead of lime-ade. The lime explosion makes them lick their lips. A tropical blend of green Rooibos, papaya, mango, peach, citrus, rose and marigold flowers that transports even a depressed guest to the islands. Wonderful refreshing light body and bold fruit flavor. Green rooibos has a velvety character like its red cousin.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 21:53:10 -0500/teas/Key%20Lime/566-key-lime?note=58305
Azteca Fire from TeavanaA strawberry, chocolate, and chile tisane is a wild idea, no doubt, but there is one problem. To get a decent taste you have to use a great deal of the product. An ordinary amount produces a tepid flavor. This is really a treasure of a beverage if you don't mind the expense. This cup is great any time of day, and during all four seasons. Sun, 28 Nov 2010 22:10:33 -0500/teas/Azteca%20Fire/797-azteca-fire?note=58306
Masala Chai from TeavanaThis chai is tepid. The biggest problem with the flavor is the black pepper, which isn't advertised, and it has the strongest influence. The flavor of "the leaf" is delicious, but overall this cup didn't make me soar heavenward. There are many better black chais, ones with more ingredients and less black pepper. Sun, 28 Nov 2010 22:17:55 -0500/teas/Masala%20Chai/924-masala-chai?note=58308
Mrs. Earl Grey from TeavanaThis is a beautiful cup! The price is very fair and the flavor is outstanding. Definitely the best "Lady Grey" I've found. In Germany they call this blend "Forest Twilight". The bergamot is bright and juicy and the other ingredients produce a bold and adventurous flavor. This is a perfect introduction to black tea.
Black teas combined with bergamot oil, cinnamon, orange pieces, cloves, and vanilla pieces.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 22:24:40 -0500/teas/Mrs.%20Earl%20Grey/1105-mrs-earl-grey?note=58309
Roastaroma from Celestial SeasoningsThis is an outstanding cup. Wonderful flavor, texture, deepness, and refreshment. This herbal is so savory I'd call it hearty. Barley tea is celebrated in Asia for its refreshment quality, and the spices in this cup are a pleasure. Not expensive at all, please try some!
Ingredients Roasted barley, roasted chicory, roasted carob, cinnamon, allspice and Chinese star anise.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 22:33:53 -0500/teas/Roastaroma/667-roastaroma?note=58311
Ginger Peach from The Republic of TeaAn outstanding cup. The mix of peach and ginger is perfect, and the flavor of "the leaf" is sweet. The body is between light and medium. The best-seller by The Republic of Tea has an intense sweet flavor. I buy this one routinely. A great introduction to black tea.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 22:43:08 -0500/teas/Ginger%20Peach/1131-ginger-peach?note=58313
Honeydew Melon from The Republic of TeaThis tea has a subtle melon flavor, a fine cup. White tea produces sublime energy, perfect for relaxing or working. They advertise this cup as "sophisticated", and it is. In the hectic big city there is a mountain of stress and hurt feelings, and this cup really brings me back to Earth.Sun, 28 Nov 2010 22:53:00 -0500/teas/Honeydew%20Melon/3078-honeydew-melon?note=58315
Christmas Morning from Stash Tea CompanyA beautiful, epic, and memorable cup. A bold and malty breakfast tea, definitely sweet enough on its own to drink neat. Whoever blended this deserves a kiss. The flavor of "the leaf" explodes on the tongue. A hint of jasmine gives this cup a magical feeling. Much too nice to have only one day of the year.Mon, 29 Nov 2010 13:16:34 -0500/teas/Christmas%20Morning/6383-christmas-morning?note=58366
Double Bergamot Earl Grey from Stash Tea CompanyThe quality of the bergamot in this cup is what I call juicy. The flavor is lingering. It makes you say "What a fine day." If you really want to taste the bergamot, try this. The base is bold and sweet, I drink it neat. I give Chad a cup of this when he's trying to study.Mon, 29 Nov 2010 13:21:11 -0500/teas/Double%20Bergamot%20Earl%20Grey/604-double-bergamot-earl-grey?note=58367
Moroccan Mint from The Republic of TeaThis is an outstanding, beautiful, and elegant cup. The green tea is flavorful and light. The mint is soothing. I feel very healthy after a pot of this. Drunk neat, the taste explodes on the tongue. It makes me chant "Carpe Diem! Carpe Diem!"Mon, 29 Nov 2010 13:26:11 -0500/teas/Moroccan%20Mint/695-moroccan-mint?note=58369
Sweet Coconut Thai Chai from Celestial SeasoningsThis is a beautiful and exotic cup. The taste of this cup will take you to Thailand. The red and black base is velvety and medium bodied. The coconut flavor is pronounced, which is nice. The other spices are delicious. This is a tea that the majority of my guests will drink. Not all are tea drinkers. Mon, 29 Nov 2010 13:32:01 -0500/teas/Sweet%20Coconut%20Thai%20Chai/1501-sweet-coconut-thai-chai?note=58370
Black Cherry Berry from Celestial SeasoningsTo be very simple and precise, this cup is delicious. It's essentially a cherry-spice herbal. The cherry flavor is organic and explodes on the tongue. The hibiscus gives it a nice tartness. I went through a box of this very fast. At 4 P.M. my guests want something fun and sweet and this is perfect.Mon, 29 Nov 2010 13:37:50 -0500/teas/Black%20Cherry%20Berry/547-black-cherry-berry?note=58372
Honey Vanilla Chamomile from Celestial SeasoningsIn the near future people will use strange language like "happiness inducer" and they could say that about this cup. Egyptian and Mexican chamomile make one feel sunny. The flavors of honey, vanilla, and orange do well to disguise the naturally floral taste of chamomile. This cup is excellent an hour before bed when you're reading a novel.Mon, 29 Nov 2010 13:41:45 -0500/teas/Honey%20Vanilla%20Chamomile/892-honey-vanilla-chamomile?note=58374
Tension Tamer from Celestial SeasoningsWith Eleuthero, peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, chamomile, West Indian lemongrass, licorice, catnip, tilia flowers, and natural lemon flavor this is a cup I enjoy as a calm-inducer more than a tasty treat. It does cause your thoughts to be as pure as a misty mountain top, even if I don't enjoy the taste of some of the ingredients.Mon, 29 Nov 2010 13:45:36 -0500/teas/Tension%20Tamer/922-tension-tamer?note=58375
Red Zinger from Celestial SeasoningsThis is one of the most clever cups I've found. They could call it "Double Hibiscus" as there are two sources. This cup makes me feel aware and thoughtful. The flavor is a pleasure. I rarely ever put honey in tea but a few drops makes this a happiness-inducer. This cup does contain licorice, which wasn't necessary, but you don't really taste it.
Hibiscus, rosehips, peppermint, West Indian lemongrass, orange peel, natural flavors, lemon myrtle, licorice and wild cherry bark.Mon, 29 Nov 2010 13:49:39 -0500/teas/Red%20Zinger/911-red-zinger?note=58377
Tropic of Strawberry from Celestial SeasoningsThis cup is a strawberry, coconut, and hibiscus herbal. It's really a pleasure. I never see it on store shelves, probably because it's sold out. The combination of ingredients is clever and satisfying. A wonderful tea for novel-reading.
Mon, 29 Nov 2010 13:58:31 -0500/teas/Tropic%20of%20Strawberry/3397-tropic-of-strawberry?note=58378
Tea of Good Tidings from The Republic of TeaThis cup is a sensational "winter blend" black tea. Warming and soothing. I went through it very fast. People absolutely love this at a holiday party. Contains juniper berries, orange peel, cranberries, cloves, rose petals, almonds, vanilla, black currants, blackberry leaves, cardamom seeds. Mon, 29 Nov 2010 14:09:52 -0500/teas/Tea%20of%20Good%20Tidings/5260-tea-of-good-tidings?note=58382
Snow Geisha from TeavanaA vivid and exotic cup. This one is my favorite white tea blend. It has sour cherries, cranberries, and rose petals. It has an extremely smooth body and the taste will make you say "I don't deserve this!"Mon, 29 Nov 2010 14:15:39 -0500/teas/Snow%20Geisha/1197-snow-geisha?note=58384
Spice of Life from TeavanaI love a very exotic cup and this one is unique. White tea has a silky smooth body that soothes after a long day. The ingredients produce a wild and savory flavor. Red pepper flakes give it a subtle fire. Ingredients: White tea, orange peel, almonds, pistachio nuts, coriander, and red pepper flakes. Contains nuts.Mon, 29 Nov 2010 14:21:02 -0500/teas/Spice%20of%20Life/4167-spice-of-life?note=58385
Hot Cinnamon Spice from Harney & SonsThis is an extremely satisfying cup if you enjoy cinnamon. There are three types of cinnamon, with cloves and orange. The base is a delicious medium-bodied black tea. I received this as a gift and I'll never forget that Christmas. Try this cheerfulness-inducer.Mon, 29 Nov 2010 14:34:30 -0500/teas/Hot%20Cinnamon%20Spice/2199-hot-cinnamon-spice?note=58388
Jasmine Jazz from The Republic of TeaJasmine Jazz is one of the nicest cups I've ever had. The green base is medium bodied and the jasmine is beautiful. One of the most expensive in the Republic of Tea's catalog, this tea has a deeply satisfying taste and a vibrant energy. My troubles vanish.Tue, 30 Nov 2010 20:49:33 -0500/teas/Jasmine%20Jazz/5107-jasmine-jazz?note=58593
Morning Thunder from Celestial SeasoningsThis cup tastes like cheap coffee wrung out of a moron's dirty socks. It is the worst-tasting tea in the Celestial Seasonings catalog. They ought to improve this blend. Maybe it's not possible to mix yerba mate with black tea, but who is to say.Tue, 30 Nov 2010 20:55:12 -0500/teas/Morning%20Thunder/1475-morning-thunder?note=58596
Paris from Harney & SonsThe black tea is between light and medium bodied, with a fruity and floral taste. It is advertised as a fruity black tea with lemony bergamot, but I didn't taste the lemony bergamot. I must point out I bought this on sale. It might have been "sitting there". I will try this again and I'll avoid "on sale" tea.Tue, 30 Nov 2010 20:59:23 -0500/teas/Paris/1537-paris?note=58597
Peppermint from Harney & SonsThis peppermint herbal (from Oregon) has an exquisite and sweet taste. Some peppermint teas taste like a stale candy cane, but this one is delicious and refreshing. The aroma is wonderful. Expensive but tasty.Tue, 30 Nov 2010 21:05:02 -0500/teas/Peppermint/6958-peppermint?note=58600
Yerba Mate Latte from The Republic of TeaThis cup is advertised as a nutty and chocolate mate, but I thought the flavor was too light. I brewed two bags at once to really taste it. That makes this cup expensive. I will try the loose-leaf version to see if it's better.Tue, 30 Nov 2010 21:14:07 -0500/teas/Yerba%20Mate%20Latte/4451-yerba-mate-latte?note=58601
Madagascar Vanilla Red from Celestial SeasoningsThis is a delicious redbush vanilla at a fair price. The velvety "red tea" is satisfying and the vanilla is inviting. Tue, 30 Nov 2010 21:20:54 -0500/teas/Madagascar%20Vanilla%20Red/805-madagascar-vanilla-red?note=58602
Safari Spice Red Tea from Celestial SeasoningsA very delicious and clever cup! This is a berry, ginger, cinnamon, and sweet piquanté pepper blend. This is a tea-bag and it's very satisfying. This one is my favorite of Celestial Seasonings' red teas.Tue, 30 Nov 2010 21:24:39 -0500/teas/Safari%20Spice%20Red%20Tea/3400-safari-spice-red-tea?note=58603
Bengal Spice from Celestial SeasoningsThis is the best tea bag herbal I've ever found. The taste is of caramel and vanilla. They advertise cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves as the ingredients but there must be secret ingredients because this is outstanding. Profoundly exotic with a smile-inducing flavor and a powerful aroma. My mother smelled the aroma coming from the cup and said "ooooh what is that?".Tue, 30 Nov 2010 21:28:26 -0500/teas/Bengal%20Spice/1456-bengal-spice?note=58604
Cranberry Blood Orange (Fair Trade Certified) from The Republic of TeaI thought this cup was tepid. A fine idea, but it doesn't deliver. The flavors of cranberry and blood orange are dismally minimal. The black tea base didn't do anything for me. Usually teas from The Republic of Tea vanish in a few days (in my house) but this sat. I'd be very eager and best pleased to try a loose-leaf version of this if they will make one. Maybe that will make a difference.Tue, 30 Nov 2010 21:59:45 -0500/teas/Cranberry%20Blood%20Orange%20(Fair%20Trade%20Certified)/4177-cranberry-blood-orange-fair-trade-certified?note=58609
Earl Greyer from The Republic of TeaA beautiful, elegant, and outstanding cup. This is a Ceylon Earl Grey with a sweet flavor and mellow body. I love Earl Greys that are "juicy", and this is one is exceptional. The bergamot flavor is sublime. This tea calls to me throughout the day, and during all four seasons.Tue, 30 Nov 2010 22:11:57 -0500/teas/Earl%20Greyer/2002-earl-greyer?note=58613
Republic Chai from The Republic of TeaI prefer to drink black chais neat (nothing added) and this one is smooth and flavorful. The balance of ingredients is perfect. Unlike other chais they don't use too much black pepper. They use an Indian black tea and the flavor is wonderful. I really tasted the cardamon which is very nice. I imagine this cup is sublime made in a pan with milk.Tue, 30 Nov 2010 22:15:54 -0500/teas/Republic%20Chai/2307-republic-chai?note=58614
Four Red Fruits from TwiningsBeautiful! This cup has a supreme concept. Black tea with raspberry, cherry, strawberry, and red currant. The black tea is medium bodied and the balance of fruits is perfect. My only complaint is that it's always sold out.Tue, 30 Nov 2010 22:20:14 -0500/teas/Four%20Red%20Fruits/1592-four-red-fruits?note=58615
African Redbush Peach from Yogi TeaThis tea bag red tea (rooibos herb) is very peach at a very fair price. On its own it's an elegant cup and a nice cup in the early morning. I also mixed a bag of this with a bag of Ceylon and it turned out nicely.Wed, 01 Dec 2010 16:11:23 -0500/teas/African%20Redbush%20Peach/3392-african-redbush-peach?note=58696
Aztec Sweet Chili from Yogi TeaThis clever cup is a cocoa, cayenne pepper, cardamon, and ginger herbal. Very very exotic. The blend of flavors is perfect and I feel excellent. This is spicy and it will get you ready to enjoy the evening. You can call this Mexican herbal tea, or Southwestern.Wed, 01 Dec 2010 16:17:28 -0500/teas/Aztec%20Sweet%20Chili/900-aztec-sweet-chili?note=58698
Classic India Spice from Yogi TeaThis could be called an 8-ingredient herbal chai. The flavor is very very bold. This recipe is thousands of years old and Indians say it cleanses the body. This cup is so spicy it will make you sweat a few drops. Invigorating with milk and honey and great if you mix one bag with a bag of Assam.

Rooibos African Spice from Yogi TeaThis red chai has a velvety body and a sweet, mild flavor. It's spicy but not bold. A nice choice if you want to try a red chai. Iced, a very refined drink. Hats off to Yogi!

Earl Grey Green from BigelowThis green tea says to brew with boiling water. You never brew green tea with boiling water. I made it with 165 F water and it tasted horrible, like the scraps from chopped garden vegetables you throw in the composter. The bergamot in this tea tastes like spinach. I predict this will be re-introduced.Thu, 02 Dec 2010 07:38:28 -0500/teas/Earl%20Grey%20Green/1332-earl-grey-green?note=58746
Lime Mint from Yogi TeaThis is a wonderful and very romantic herbal. You could call this a Cuban herbal tea as lime and mint is featured in their national beverage. I enjoy this tea at midnight when caffeine isn't an idea. Great for an all night party.Thu, 02 Dec 2010 07:41:50 -0500/teas/Lime%20Mint/6736-lime-mint?note=58747
African Autumn from Harney & SonsThis is a red tea that made me glow with pride for buying it. It's a cranberry orange redbush cup. You can really taste the presented flavors well. Cranberry and orange makes me feel very happy. Harney and Sons use very good ingredients and their blenders are astute. Every time I'm at the book emporium I see the rack with this tea on it and I smile.Thu, 02 Dec 2010 07:45:16 -0500/teas/African%20Autumn/504-african-autumn?note=58748
Organic Bangkok Iced from Harney & SonsThis is one of the many "Thai Chais". This cup has a light green base with lemongrass, ginger, coconut, and vanilla. In my opinion that is a beautiful combination. The flavor is pleasant and it makes you want to drink the whole pot in one sitting. This is a good tea for someone who frowns at tea in general. Like all Thai Chais this one sends you to Thailand in your mind.Thu, 02 Dec 2010 07:50:21 -0500/teas/Organic%20Bangkok%20Iced/9612-organic-bangkok-iced?note=58749
Republic Green Chai from The Republic of TeaThis is an extraordinary cup. A light to medium bodied green tea, ginger, cardamon, cinnamon, and almond. I like black chai with black pepper, but a chai without black pepper is really a sweet and savory drink. I served twelve ounces of this to my hard-working brother and he said "Mmm ... you don't say."

Vanilla Hazelnut from Yogi TeaThis cup is enjoyed all over the world, but you can call it an Indian dessert chai. Vanilla and hazelnut are sweet and bold with the stimulating spices of chicory, carob, cinnamon, cardamon, ginger, stevia, clove and black pepper. This is what millionaires drink when they go to Bombay.Thu, 02 Dec 2010 08:07:07 -0500/teas/Vanilla%20Hazelnut/3332-vanilla-hazelnut?note=58753
